endocrine/exocrine glands
• relative area of beta cells and islet density are significantly reduced in newborns
• relative area of beta cells is decreased at 3 months and 1 year of age
|
• at 8 to 12 weeks of age the beta cell area is reduced due to reduced islet numbers
|
• at 1 year of age islets are friable unlike islets from wild-type mice
|
• at 1 year of age about 3 fold more apoptotic cells are seen in pancreatic islets
|
• marked increase in the numbers of streptozotocin induced apoptotic beta cells
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• total body weights are lower in females on a high fat diet, but not on a normal chow diet, compared to diet matched wild-type females
|
• in males and females at 3 months of age and in newborns
• at 1 year of age fasting glucose levels increase to near diabetic levels
|
• in males and females at 3 months and 1 year of age
|
• in males and females at 3 months of age
• glucose intolerance appears worse at 1 year of age compared to 3 months
|
• in males and females at 3 months of age
• insulin resistance appears worse at 1 year of age compared to 3 months
|
• marked increase in the numbers of streptozotocin induced apoptotic beta cells
• marked loss of body weight in streptozotocin treated mutants compared to similarly treated controls
|
adipose tissue
• in females at 10 days of age
|
• decrease in glucose uptake in adipocytes even in the presence of relatively low insulin levels
• defect in glucose uptake increases with age
|
muscle
• decrease in glucose uptake in response to 100 nM insulin in soleus muscle cells from 10 to 12 week old mice
• defect in glucose uptake increases with age
|
growth/size/body
• total body weights are lower in females on a high fat diet, but not on a normal chow diet, compared to diet matched wild-type females
|
weight loss
(
J:171817
)
• marked loss of body weight in streptozotocin treated mutants compared to similarly treated controls
|
• total body weights are lower in females on a high fat diet, but not on a normal chow diet, compared to diet matched wild-type females
|
behavior/neurological
N |
• no differences in food intake are detected
|
integument
• in females at 10 days of age
|
cellular
• decrease in glucose uptake in adipocytes even in the presence of relatively low insulin levels
• defect in glucose uptake increases with age

|
• marked increase in the numbers of streptozotocin induced apoptotic beta cells
